Sample using Viva Decor Croco paints

Posted by Isabelle Norris on August 13, 2009

hi,

Here’s a sample I made using Crafty Individuals stamps CI 214 and CI 227. The wooden frame was painted with Viva Decor Croco Paint. The only shade I had here was gold, which was not really what I wanted. So I used alcohol inks (slate,  stonewashed and metallic silver) to “age” the crackle once dry.

If you have never tried those Viva Decor crackle paints, go for it! they are amazing. You’ll have to be patient and let it dry though. I usually leave it overnight, or during the day at least 4 hours.

I also used Distress inks and Stickles Platinum
